Welcome!

Announcements:

Announced 3/6/2015: First, here are the Exam 2 Solutions. Then here is a list of review material that should help you for the final:
- Final Exam Facts Summary.
- Final Exam Checklist of Topics.
- Taylor Series Quick Summary Sheet.
- Taylor Polynomial/Final Review Worksheet which contains a list of practice problems and here are the solutions to problems 1-13 and solutions to problems 14-23 (Note the obvious miscalculation typo in 18(c), which also effects 18(d)).
- Taylor Notes
- Here is a detailed Overview of Taylor Notes 1, 2, and 3.
- Here is a detailed Overview of Taylor Notes 4 and 5.
- And remember that any and all of the exams in the math department old 126 final archive are good to study.
- Also note that my recent exams archive contains a few more exams with solutions along with some old midterms that cover Taylor series with solutions.
- Just for your interest (this won't be on your test, you can ignore this), here is an old honors worksheet discussing a few applications of Taylor series (there are many more applications than those listed in this worksheet, but I think these are all applications that you can appreciate now with the tools/background you currently have).
Announced 3/2/2015: Here are some additional Exam 2 Review sheets (a discussion of the concepts based on common questions from students this week).
Announced 2/27/2015: Here are some review materials and lecture overheads that you may find useful as exam 2 approaches:
- Quick Review for Exam 2
- Some Older Overheads that Review the material for Exam 2 with a little bit more detail (there is a longer discussion of max/min in these overheads).
- Here is a compilation of old exam problems and solutions.
- Here is the Old Exam 2 Archive. Also here is an additional archive of old exams (I just posted three new exams with full solutions here today).
- Also, here is a sheet that helps organizing your studying by topic.
Announced 2/20/2015: Please check out the following postings:
- A flowchart summarizing integration techniques from Math 125.
- Here is a list of integrals we know in one step. These integrals are the main ones from Math 125 that we quote in one step. For all others, we use some technique to simplify the integral to one of these.
- A full review of integration techniques from Math 125.
- Here are 24 very basic integrals that should all be quick and easy for you (they only require simplification or substitution along with the basic integrals). And here are the solutions (although you shouldn't need them because you should know how to check your work).
- Here are a few examples integrals involving powers of sine and cosine. (These sorts of integrals come up a lot in 15.4).
- Here are 11 practice problems and solutions. And here are 30 more random problems with notes and answers.
- 15.1 and 15.2 Review.
- 15.3 and 15.4 Review.
Announced 2/12/2015: More review and course materials:
- Here is an overview of max/min facts from calculus 1 and calculus 3.
- Here are overheads that summarize max/min facts.
- 14.4 and 14.7 Review: In addition to summarizing the material, this review sheet contains a fully worked out linear approximation example, a fully worked out differentials example, a fully worked out critical points example and a fully worked out max/min example. I hope these extra examples help to supplement the textbook and lecture.
- 14.7 Lecture Overheads.
- 15.1 Lecture Overheads.
- More 15.1 Lecture Overheads.
Announced 2/9/2015: Here are the Exam 1 Solutions. Grade information will be discussed on Wednesday.
Announced 2/5/2015: Check out the following postings (you may want to print off/look at the 14.1-14.4 overheads before coming to lecture on those days in order to help with your note taking):
Announced 1/30/2015: Here are a few more postings to help you before exam 1:
- Exam 1 Fact sheet: One sheet containing all formulas for exam 1.
- Review Overheads containing overhead copies of two recent exams.
- Formula summaries and example computations from 13.2 and 13.3 (with solutions).
- Here is a Fact Sheet about Calculus on 3D Parametric Curves (some of this is ahead of us in the material, but I wanted to give you one summary sheet or all our facts about curves).
Announced 1/23/2015: Please check out the following:
- Exam 1 Fact sheet.
- Overheads and summary from 12.6.
- Lecture overheads used for 13.1
- Please check out my notes on the homework for 10.1/13.1 and 10.2/13.2.
- A 10.2, 10.3, 13.2 Review : I think this has some helpful summaries, so please look through it and use it as reference.
- A basic polar coordinate overview.
- Here are several versions of catesian and polar graph paper for your convenience:
  - Medium Sized Polar Graph Paper
  - Large Sized Polar and Cartesian Graph Paper and Overlay
Announced 1/16/2015: Here are some materials for lecture and review:
- Review of 12.5.
- Some lecture notes summarizing 12.6.
- Overview of basic facts from 12.5, 12.6, 10.1 and 13.1 review.
- More 12.6 (Basic 3D surfaces) material:
  - Basic Quadric Surfaces.
  - Some 12.6 Lecture Overheads.
  - A very brief visual and summary of conic sections followed by the graphs of hyperbolas: It would be good to look at this before section 12.6.
  - An old worksheet that discusses ellipses and hyperbolas and an old worksheet about hyperbolas and 3D graphs. Try working through these if you are unfamiliar (or rusty) with the equations for hyperbolas and ellipses (or if want to know more about them). These were written by Prof. Don Marshall.
Announced 1/14/2015: Here are a few more postings:
- Overheads from our second lecture on lines and planes.
- Brief Summary/Flowchart on how to find lines and planes.
- Summary Overheads for Finding Lines and Planes
- Practice Problems and full solutions for finding lines and planes.
- Overheads from lecture which contain 3D visuals of lines and planes.
- A supplemental discussion of vectors and physics: This is just for your own interest (not covered on exam), but it may better help you see the applications in the vectors and vector operations we have been discussing in class.
Announced 1/7/2015: Here are my first review postings, check them out:
Announced 1/2/2015: Important textbook and Webassign information:
- All students must have access to Webassign in order to do the homework. UW has a special login page: https://www.webassign.net/washington/login.html.
- If you purchased Lifetime of the Edition access to Webassign for the 7th edition of Stewart in Math 124 or 125, you do not need to purchase a new access code.
- Students may use either a hard copy of the text or the electronic text available through Webassign.
- If you did not purchase Webassign access for Math 124 or 125, the least expensive option is Webassign with the electronic text. The publishing company offers a deal to UW students to receive the text and access for $70: http://www.cengagebrain.com/micro/uwmathcalc
- If you wish to purchase a hard copy of the text, the bookstore carries a custom version, listed as Multivariable Calculus, by James Stewart. You can purchase just the text (if you already have Webassign access from Math 125) or the text bundled with a Webassign access code (check with bookstore personel to be sure you're getting the access code bundled with the text).
- WARNING: For those of you purchasing access for the first time, be sure you follow the link above for the $70 access + e-book option. If you log into Webassign and follow their link to "purchase access on-line," they will NOT offer you the $70 Lifetime of the Edition deal (this price was negotiated through the textbook publishers, not through Webassign).
For those students looking for an add code, I do not overload my courses and I do not keep a waiting list. Come to class the first week and keep checking on-line enrollments. The only way to get in is to find an opening online.
